RELIABLE GENTLEMAN

The Florida Lake Region, published at
Eustis, Florida, has at last found "relia-
BILE gentleman he does turn up now and
then-who gives Southern California a
blackeye, and for the matter of that, all
California receives the benefit of his testi-
mony. He has been here and knows, of
course, whereof he speaks. The Los An
geles region receives the most of his sharp
criticism. According to this informant,
our climate is 4 fraud, since it is cool night
and morning, and warm at midday, and
we vacillate diurnally between overcoats
and linen busters Our cultivation is
fraudulent, because to considerable ex-
tent we irrigate the fruit and berry lands.
Our winter is cheat, because it rains at
that season. Water is sold by the inch,
which, according to him, is monstrous
outrage. Our oranges and fruits generally
are tasteless and devoid of the fine Florida
Favor. Part OF the year we cannot do
without fires in our houses a fact the
reliable gentleman should have felt re-
strained by the laws of hospitality from
telling abroad. The rain penetrates ev-
erything during the wet season; blow at
the rubber and oil goods trade he GER
tsinly was not subsidized to deliver. Coal
is high, and all we have is brought from
Australia and the Sandwich Islands,
commercial necessity which we had fondly
hoped would not leak ont. In Los An
geles there is physician to every FIVE
persons disclosure which will at least
tend to keep the annual Eastern crop of
new doctors at home. The temperature
varies in day from POI to 7O0, and the
climate is irregular and unpleasant.
We Of California are certainly under
obligations to the Regions reliable gen
tleman" for not giving Us away to
greater extent. For he might have told
that the only Hour we have is still brought
from Chile; that our lumber is transported
from Maine, our vegetables from Iceland,
and our wine from Siberia. He might, had
not pity held him in check, have related
that we bake and eat our grandmothers,
and dine on roast baby-in fact there is
no telling" what injury this veracious
citizen might not have done to California
had he told the whole truth

The worlds work is being more and

art and mechanics, hundred years ago,
were scarcely tolerated. They did then
exist, but only under the ban of society.
While century ago the physician, artist,
educator or mechanic might devote him

branch, still il was demanded that it

In the intellectual field, the world no

FARMER Stafford, of Willows, as he
sat in his parlor at the close of the day,
was shot in a cowardly manner by his fore
man, Sims yelling, because of triding
quarrel. yelling escaped to the hills. If,
now, Stafford dies, and Yelling is captured,
it will be in order, as in the Truckee and
st. Johns cases, for Yelling to concoct in
defense some infamous SANDER upon the
dead. 1t will then be in order for the SEN
sational press to assume that what the
murderer says is true, and to proceed to
aid in the work of blackening the name of
the deceased. And this is enterprise

SAYS the San Jose Mercury: "Have
faith in San Jose, faith in Santa Clara
county, and act as though you did, and the
problem whose solution you are seeking,
will be solved as you wish it, and almost
e'er you know it." Which is good advice
and applies here as well as there. 1t
should be added, Don't say # this can
be done If that can be accomplished, we
will augment our prosperity, but proceed
to do and accomplish. Don't say if that
had been done we would have succeeded,
but since this or that or the other pet
scheme has failed, it is usless to do more
now, but to fold our hands and sit and
stllk." Obstacles exist only to be over
come; defeats are but precursors of vic
tories; failures should only be incentives
to triumphs.

Your committee presents these state
ments for the consideration of the General
Water Committee. w. A. BRIGGS,
Chairman.
At the conclusion of the report the fol-
lowing resolution, introduced by DR.. w.
A. Briggs, was passed
WHEREAS, The present water supply of the
city of Sacramento although otherwise nnex-
ceptionabe, is ordinarily charged with mining
debris, and at times, contaminated by an out
now from the large tule basins to our west and
north; whereas, coincident with denSer popu-
lation OF the Sacramento valley, we may rea-
sonably expect deterioration rather than i'm
provement in this water supply; whereas an
abundant supply of clear, soft pure water is of
tne iist linpOrtdnce 10 the health, growth and
prosperity of city; whereas, in our opinion,
such supply can be had from wells in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Sacramento; Whereas in
the near future considerable expenditure in
the repair and enlargement of our present
water works will be necessary; whereas the
annual expense of supplying clear water would
probably be considerably less than that of sup
plying water loaded with debris: whereas, the
saving of filtration of water for domestic use.
IN the wear of water power machinery and in
the washing OF vehicles and clothing conse-
quent on the introduction of clear water would
be very large, therefore, on the grounds of pub
be it
Resoised, That we earnestly recommend the
appropriation OF s. from the funds of the
Improvement Association for the purpose of de-
termining the quality of this subterranean water
| supply, of testing the capacity of the William
son well for period of forty eight hours, and,
If this be found satisfactory of prospecting for
wells from which an abundant and suitable sup
ply can be obtained.
